Our Weekly Weekend Update

Hello my wonderful blogging buddies! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Thanks for all of the kind words on my last post! You guys really do rock!

This weekend was a laid back one! How was yours??

Friday night we met our friends Sarah and Deaner for dinner at Vapiano. I cannot express how much I love their food! I had fusilli pasta with a mushroom cream sauce, (that I get every time) and a glass of the house red wine. After making a HAPPY plate we decided to take our party of four to Scrooge's Irish Pub.

After many drinks and good convo we called it an evening and headed off to bed.

Saturday we woke up to RAIN! Boooo. I had several things I wanted to do that day, but they got pushed back for another day. We stayed inside the entire day. Watched about 5 movies and went to bed early that night. We're cool like that. One of the movies we watched was Rachel Getting Married.

I LOVE this movie, it is extremely sad, but the story line was great and the acting was awesome. If you feel like a good tearjerker, this is definitely a movie you want to see.

Sunday the sun came back to Germany and Jon and I did not want to miss the opportunity to get some things done. First, very exciting news...... our friends Georgina and Josh had their baby. Her name is Addison, she was 6 pounds 12 ounces, and had a full head of hair. We visited them in the hospital and I held that precious baby for over an hour. She just slept "like a baby" the entire time. She is definitely a beautiful gift from God! We were so excited and happy for them.

After visiting them in the hospital we ran to the base to get some new windshield wipers for the car and popped over to the toy store because I really wanted the game Scrabble. Then we went grocery shopping and finally made our way back home. It was so nice outside and we had eaten a huge lunch with Josh at the hospital so we decided to go take a walk. We walked downtown and I captured some pictures of the cathedral (which I've posted on here about 100 times, but I just can't get enough of this church,) and the park.

It was getting to be about dinner time so we headed back home. While we ate dinner we played Scrabble and drank a Riesling from this area. It was a nice way to end a weekend. Other than the fact that Jon kicked my butt at Scrabble!! After about 5 games the total score was,

Jon: 946
Me: 610

Being the sore loser that I can be, I quit! I knew the only reason I didn't win is because I let him get away with a couple of things and I wasn't feeling well. That's the only reason he won ;)

Kathy if you're reading this, here are some pictures of downtown that I took just for you while we went on our walk yesterday ;) I know Wiesbaden holds a close place in your heart. I hope you enjoy!

This is what the streets in my neighborhood look like right now.

One of the many beautiful streets downtown.

One of the natural springs in Wiesbaden. The downtown square.The cathedral in the downtown square.Obviously I love this cathedral!

Another picture of the downtown square. On every Wednesday and Saturday there is a market here and all of the vendors bring their fresh produce, cheeses, meats, etc. A painting on one of the buildings.Heading to the park.The park downtown Wiesbaden.If you look closely you can see a rainbow caught in the fountain water.The theater.
As you can see, the park was filled with sun bathers. It was a beautiful and warm day.They are doing construction at the Kurhaus, so I found pictures that I had previously taken so I could show you what it looks like.

The back of the Kurhaus.On the way to our house there is another park. Here is the park and the building in the background is the train station.I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! As always ours flew by.
Happy Monday to you all!
Enjoy your week!
